  • The number of members reported below refers to the year 2014 in most cases.
  • According to the SIG creation guidelines, a SIG should hold elections every two years, which is the case for the majority of the SIGs.
  • There are seven SIGs that do not follow the two-year election pattern: SIGBioMed, SIGFSM, SIGLEX, SIGNLL, SIGPARSE, SIGSEM, SIGWAC. Apart from SIGLEX, all these SIGs have a three-year term in their constitution.
